- Each company director, subscriber, secretary, and PSC must provide a service address (any part of the world) for the delivery of statutory mail.
Do I need to inform HMRC that I have set up a limited company?
Companies House informs HMRC when a new business is registered, so you don't have to contact them. HMRC will send a letter to your registered office address including your company's Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) and information about Corporation Tax after your company is formed.
The UTR is important as you will need it every time you contact HMRC regarding your company's tax affairs. The letter will contain all you need to know about your company becoming 'active' for corporation tax purposes, as well as the information you must send to HMRC.
Non-UK residents can form a UK limited company with RTRSupports Limited, there is no paperwork to sign, and all UK company registration documents can be provided in digital format through an email.
